Wow, I assume the girl understands English. She managed to keep her composure pretty well, all things considered. [QUOTE=Borat] Kazakhstan’s prostitutes are the cleanest in the region, except, of course, for Turkmenistan’s. Kazakhstan, Kazakhstan, you very nice place .. come grasp the mighty penis of our leader from junction with testes to tip of its face. [/QUOTE] ---

I would love to hear a few wrong anthems at the upcoming olympics. How about Je t’aime for France? Imagine the French Gold medal winner looking adoringly at his trophy, how much more fitting could it be? ---

Borat’s film was banned in many muslim countries, so it’s not too surprising that the organizers wouldn’t be aware of it. ---

When she won the Eurovision song contest for Germany, [Lena Meyer-Landrut](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jdcXmTF9FgE) led the celebrating crowd in American expat Verna May Bentley-Krause’s [“Ich Liebe Deutsche Land”](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Wxmia7CA3lA), from TV Total. IMHO that really ought to be their anthem. ---

So now Kazakhstan has another type of problem, exacerbating their existing economic, social, and Jew problems. ---

> [@Shmendrik](#): > > [I hope this helps.](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Vb3IMTJjzfo) Yes. Now I feel stupid. I’ve seen _Borat_, and this thread is partly about _Borat_, so I should have realized that **robert\_columbia’s** post was a reference to the movie. :smack:
